I have acquired a few Trichocereus (grandiflorus, spachianus).

Does anyone know how large these Cactus need to be before they bloom ?

Thanks.

I've had new plants bloom that were only 3 or 4 inches tall. That is in very good light indoors, or outdoors in morning sun only.

Yes, unlike Ferocactus, Trichocereus bloom early and often.

Thank you both for your replies......

Now, I have Trichocereus peruvianus Icaros San Pedro and
Trichocereus pachanoi, San Pedro Cactus

Both are due to arrive in the mail this week. Has anyone grown either of
these ?
